Success and Sacrifice – Adoniram Judson

There is no success without sacrifice. If you succeed without sacrifice it is because someone has suffered before you. If you sacrifice without success it is because someone will succeed after.

Preach more of Christ – Charles Spurgeon

When we get to the end of our ministry, one of our regrets will be that we did not preach more of Christ.

Am I willing to go? – George Muller

When we ask God for a thing, such as that He would be pleased to raise up labourers for His harvest, or send means for the carrying on of His work, the honest question to be put to our hearts should be this: Am I willing to go, if He should call me? Am I willing to give according to my ability? For we may be the very persons whom the Lord will call for the work, or whose means He may wish to employ.

Church is a hospital – John Bunyan

Christ’s church is a hospital of sick, wounded, and afflicted people.

Gift of Preaching and Ministry – Henry Drummond

What a noble gift it is, the power of playing upon the souls and wills of men, and rousing them to lofty purposes and holy deeds.

Do you believe in the Holy Spirit? – Charles Spurgeon

My brethren, do you believe in the Holy Ghost?… Have we such a reliance upon the Holy Ghost? Do we believe that, at this moment, He can clothe us with power, even as He did the apostles at Pentecost? Do we believe that, under our preaching, by His energy a thousand might be born in a day?
